Solo Plumber: ROI Projection
One-person shop losing jobs while on-site
The Scenario
A typical solo plumber in a mid-size metro area who handles 8–12 inbound calls per day but can't answer the phone while under a sink, on a ladder, or driving between jobs.
Industry Context
According to ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro data, solo plumbers miss 35–45% of inbound calls. Each missed call represents a potential $350–$800 job. With no receptionist and no after-hours coverage, these leads call the next plumber on Google. The average plumber spends 6+ hours daily with hands too occupied to answer a phone.
The Problem
A typical solo plumber handles everything — estimates, repairs, parts runs, billing. With hands literally in pipes 6+ hours a day, roughly 4 out of every 10 calls go unanswered. That's 88 missed calls per month, each representing a $350–$800 job that goes to a competitor.
